Anyone else starting their 2ww?

Hi all

I think I am 2dpo and think AF is due 4th Feb so 13 days until I will be testing, if AF doesn't arrive.

I know it's not really possible to have symptoms this early but I have had frequent urination, excessive saliva and a slight metallic taste in my mouth today. I think it must be all in my head, because I don't remember having these symptoms the last time I had a BFP (which ended in an early m/c).

Is anyone else just starting a 2ww?

wondering if maybe implantation was happening but failed? as usually my cycle is 31 days, this makes it 27 and it never starts heavy.

god my mind is mush ttc and i promised myself i wouldnt turn into a crazy lady and im only 3 cycles in, now on my 4th i guess.

lucylou1234 · 23/02/2016 17:01

gutted. af is here :( early and heavy :(

Lily35 · 23/02/2016 16:33

Far too early Kate - don't know why I did it. I'm definitely not pg this month I know it. I feel too normal.
Good luck with that scan! Hopefully they can give you answers !!

HopefulKate1980 · 23/02/2016 16:32

lily it's too early for you to test though isn't it?

I've called the doctors about this bleeding as I have decided I want a scan to know what's going on. Ive found a great clinic but they need a referral so hopefully will get answers v soon.

Xx

Lily35 · 23/02/2016 16:24

I POAS too..think I'm same as you Lucylou. Due on AF on 27th. I got BFN - as expected. But I had really itchy boobs so thought I'd have a go (no idea if that's a symptom!!)

Theaks · 23/02/2016 16:14

Don't loose faith yet lucylou it's still very early! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

lucylou1234 · 23/02/2016 15:37

hi lily

yeah im ttc dc1 :) been off the pill for over a year but this will be our 3rd cycle trying.

poas again today but nothing :( think ive managed to convince myelf im pregnant but im sitting here and i can feel the usual cramps that indicate af is due :( :( :(

Theaks · 23/02/2016 11:50

Oh thanks. Nice! Ha ha
I'm not sure blood always linked to bad things for me. 😔

Lily35 · 23/02/2016 09:41

Piss On A Stick and Too Much Information :)

Theaks · 23/02/2016 09:23

I'm not good with the abbreviations- got by so far googling them. Also can't work out text talk- really not down with the kids! 😂 What does poas stand for? Also can someone tell me what tmi stands for also?

Lily35 · 23/02/2016 09:11

Tweaks! Go POAS and keep us updated!

Theaks · 23/02/2016 08:11

Hi can I join. I'm at the end of my 2ww- cd29. I am usually 28-30. I had some brown blood at the weekend cd26/27 (sorry) but nothing yesterday and now! Thought AF had come early! Strange though I didn't get upset about it potentially coming this month- previous months I have been so upset. We have been ttc for 16months but had a mc Dec 14 and a mmc Aug 15.

Hoping everyone gets their bfp this cycle!

Lily35 · 23/02/2016 08:01

Hi lucylou
Welcome and good luck! Sounds quite positive though? Defo too early to test - you just have to hang in there! Are you trying for your first?

lucylou1234 · 22/02/2016 22:37

hi can i join ?

on my tww, cycle 3. period due saturday 27th. had some weird bleeding/spotting which seemed like a light period but only when i wiped sorry tmi, but it was only like this twice i went to toilet and now i have had some kinda brown spotting again only when i wipe. Ive never had this before my period.

part of me wonders if it implantation bleeding or if i google i end up thinking it could be something else :(

symtom spotting (or is it in my head) have occassionally felt nauseous ( prob in my head as too early) breast feel i tender/heavy and my stomach feels boated.

i poas today - it was -ve and i know its too early but just couldnt help my self :(

mustthinkofabetterusername · 22/02/2016 22:25

thanks for the welcome ladies

hopefulkate that souonds like such a confusing situation to be in a the moment, and as a result stressful :( Would there be any supportive practice nurses in the gp surgery you could speak to?

HopefulKate1980 · 22/02/2016 22:13

Thanks shopaholic! I'm going to wait until Thursday & then if I'm still bleeding call the doctors or EPU. I may need another bout of antibiotics maybe. So bloody bored of all this.

Did you get any symptoms last time? When are you testing again?

Xx

shopaholic85 · 22/02/2016 22:00

Oh Kate, you poor thing. Like an mc isn't bad enough without all these ongoing issues! I have no answers I'm afraid, but like you say, that's sadly the case for women after an mc. I just hope the bleeding stops soon.

Welcome mustthinkofabetterusername to our little group. The more the merrier!

Lily, I have no symptoms whatsoever! Absolutely nothing. I know that doesn't mean anything, but can't imagine implantation would happen without me noticing a single change. I don't understand my body at all!

HopefulKate1980 · 22/02/2016 20:57

I know lily!! It is driving me round the bend. I have asked myself the same questions!

I was told by the EPU that the minute I get a negative p test, my body would realise it wasn't pregnant and start to ovulate. So that is why I started using OPKs after my negative test to find out when I was about to ovulate...

It was low fertility for a few days and then went to high and then peak.... so surely this isn't a period as I have only just ovulated!! But then if it is leftover lining, does this mean the egg that I ovulated might be unhealthy?

SO MANY QUESTIONS! We should set up a business staffed by doctors and nurses that answer questions about MC. We all have so many questions all the time and no real answers...

Lily35 · 22/02/2016 20:51

Kate - you aren't half having a confusing time! It could be period? Have u had one since your MC? It could be lining left over from the MC? Personally I think I would count day 1 of the bleed as cd 1 and see if u get positive OpK again in 10-14 days?

Thanks Mustthinkofabertername - ill check that Facebook page out!

Shopaholic - any symptoms??

mustthinkofabetterusername · 22/02/2016 20:19

Hi! Sorry to hear your journey is a long one, hope there is a positive for you soon. Have you heard of the facebook page Saltwater and Honey?

It is written from the perspective of a couple of people going through infertility and trying to maintain positivity (as opposed to being out the other end and already having a happy ending, or the other extreme of being really cross/bitter, as some infertility blogs etc can be. That's not a criticism, it's just sometimes hard to find that happy medium in and extremely difficult situation.

HopefulKate1980 · 22/02/2016 20:19

Hi mustthinkofabetterusername! It'a small group this one, and it keeps rolling, but it's a real comfort to have people going through the same thing... so welcome!!

I feel like I am going out of my mind with this bleeding! It has been 5 days now since I supposedly ovulated (according to the OPKs) and I am STILL bleeding. There is no chance I could be PG with this much bleeding surely?

I started to think today it could be a period, but surely it wouldn't happen so soon after a positive OPK? I am so confused and it is getting me down. I feel like there is nobody I ask what is happening / wrong - my GP doesn't seem to have a clue about cycles after miscarriage and I don't want to bother the EPU again. Last time I spoke to them they said it is probably ovulation bleeding, but from what I have read online, it wouldn't last this long. I also have quite uncomfortable bloating and cramps which suggests it is a period...

ARGH!!!!

Hope you have all had better days??

Lily35 · 22/02/2016 16:53

Still TTC no 1 - it's been a long and heartbreaking journey!

I definitely know though this month that its a BFN. I just feel so normal and well.

mustthinkofabetterusername · 22/02/2016 16:30

You never know! Do you have any other dc or are you ttc dc1?

Have myself convinced I felt pain and "pop" of implantation, a couple of days after ovulation. But I'm also aware that the the power of suggestion can make the mind and body believe just about anything!

It could be a waste of time and money testing tomorrow (four days early) though. With dc1, home pg test was negative four days early and on day period was due, it only came up positive four days after period was due!
